Chapter 282
Grand Line, Luffy entire group has also pa.s.sed three islands since it entered.
The biggest gain should be the acquisition of a ship doctor… Chopper, and also a cute pet, bringing a lot of happy laughter and cheerful voices to the entire Merry.
“Wow, the ocean is really big!”
but Chopper, who lives on Drum Island, has never even gone out to the most basic sea, and his contact with the ocean is only in books. So curious and admirable for him.
Sitting in the special seat of the sheep’s head, Luffy looked at the sea in the distance, said with a smile: “Of course, pirates have to sail on such a big sea. You’re one of them now.”
“Really? Pirates are really amazing.”
As soon as the voice fell, the sky suddenly became dark. Chopper and Luffy quickly looked up and saw the sky. A huge bird was flying, and the black shadow cast by the huge body covered the entire Merry.
“What is that?” Chopper curiously asked.
“Seagull.” Luffy replied, and then directly moved towards the giant bird above without going through the brain, recruiting and shouting: “Hey, seagull!”
Luffy’s yelling attracted the seagull. With those huge eyes, moving towards below, it saw a ship sailing on the sea with a person on it.
With its wings spread, it changed directions, dived down, and flew close to the sea. The air waves generated around its body caused two waves of several meters high on the sea.
Seeing the giant bird flying so close, Chopper hugged his head in fright and lowered his head quickly. When the wind above disappeared, Chopper lifted his head and saw that Luffy in front of him was gone. Taken away by the big bird.
Chopper hurriedly moved towards and ran back, his head was covered with cold sweat from fear, and his mouth shouted: “Not good, Luffy is going to be eaten.”
Lin Tian was surrounded by the four who were sitting behind playing cards.
Chopper was shouting at them: “Now is not the time to play cards, Luffy is in trouble!”
Looking at the cards in his hand, still as bad as the upper hand, Zoro asked calmly: “Did Luffy call for help?”
Chopper stopped running, replied puzzled: “No…?”
“This hand…” Lin Tian’s hand is good, much better than the previous hand, and he said in a good mood: “If not, then leave him alone.”
“Rubber Rubber Rotating Bullet!”
TL note: Gomu Gomu no Rifle (Gomu Gomu no Raifuru, literally meaning “Rubber Rubber Rotating Bullet”): Similar to the Gomu Gomu no Bullet, but Luffy twists his arm around as he stretches it behind him and hits the opponent at close range, ma.s.sively increasing the velocity of the punch as twisting the arm stretches the arm even further without having to draw it back any longer which also saves the amount of time the kick-back takes. This attack is called Gum-Gum Rifle in the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub and Gum-Gum Drill in Grand Adventure. This was first seen being used against Enel. According to a fan poll, this is the twenty first favorite amongst fans with a total of 85 votes. The kanji’s literal reading is kaitendama/kaitendan, and it references the spin a rifle normally applies when it fires a bullet.
Bang!
In the face of everyone’s crusade, Luffy was not sorry at all, and was unscrupulously happy to bring the meat back with him, and clamored for Sanji to cook the meat.
At this moment, Nami walked over and said, “We’re going to Arabasta soon. We don’t have time to play around.”
Chopper asked puzzledly: “Where is Arabasta?”
“Arabasta is Vivi’s country.”
“Now Crocodile is going to seize that country, he is one of Seven Warlords.”
Usopp seems to know very well, and very excitedly explained: “All pirates recognized Seven Warlords. They have an unstoppable powerful force, and he can defeat other pirates easily.”
“However, these are some of the rumors we heard.” Nami said: “Here, Lin Tian should know the most.”
Seeing that everyone focused their eyes on him, Lin Tian had to explain it aloud, and let them prepare for the next battle.
“Seven Warlords are not so much pirates that were recognized by the Government, as it is better to say that they are cooperating with the World Government. Just like you said, they are some very powerful pirates, and Marine Vice Admirals are not their opponents. They are one of the three strengths of the Grand Line alongside Four Emperors and Marine Headquarters, but they should be the weakest among Three Great Influences.”
Sanji leaned back and asked puzzledly: “Seven Warlords is the weakest when they are so strong? So which force is the strongest.
“I care more about Four Emperors than this. Which place they are in?” Zoro held the sword and asked curiously.
Lin Tian slowly explained: “Marine is second and Four Emperors is first. As for who Four Emperors is, you don’t need to know. It’s still too far away from you. You only need to understand that they are the four most powerful pirates after Roger, the Pirate King.”
“S…”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help gasping for air. This kind of powerful pirates was not something they could touch yet, but everyone had a burning desire to fight.
“The strongest!”
“Well, these are not what we consider now.” Nami spoke to stop these militants, turned her head, and then asked: “Lin Tian, you still haven’t told us about Crocodile.”
“Crocodile, one of Seven Warlords. I usually just call him Crocodile, bounty gold 81 million Berry, and also a Devil Fruit Ability User.”
Hearing the introduction about Crocodile, everyone looked shocked and heavy. Except for Lin Tian’s abnormality, his bounty gold was higher than Zoro and Luffy combined.
Lin Tian’s next words made their hearts sink even more, “However, judging his strength by bounty gold is wrong, because this bounty gold is only ten years ago. His strength far exceeds the bounty amount. At the same time, he is a Logia Devil Fruit, just like Smoker we encountered in Loguetown, physical attacks are useless.”
“What!”
Everyone screamed. All the attacks on the scene were all physical attacks. If the physical attacks were ineffective, then no one could deal with him. What are you fighting for?
Nami shouted in surprise: “If this is the case, then the people who eat this Devil Fruit are invincible. Physical attacks are useless, so how can you deal with them?”
“No, there are also powers that can restrain this kind of ability. You have not yet come into contact with it, but the Devil Fruit ability is not invincible. It mainly depends on how you use it.” the following sentence; Lin Tian mainly said to Luffy.
From Lin Tian’s words, everyone has received a lot of information, but they understand that they are still very weak and there are many powerful forces in the world. And they are not qualified to touch them yet.
……
After several days of voyage, when everyone was about to starve to death on the Merry, an exciting news finally appeared, they were about to reach Arabasta and then they would be able to eat and no longer have to starve.
On the way, many Baroque Works Organization ships began to appear in Arabasta. The members began to gather, and the real battle was ready to begin.
Zoro looked at the boat shadows behind him, and said disdainfully: “Idiots, they are just lackeys.”
Sitting on the railing, Sanji took a cigarette and echoed: “Yeah, we have only eight people, so no wonder.”
Release the hand holding Nami’s waist, Lin Tian took a few steps forward and looked at the pirates behind him, his whole body exuding a strong murderous aura.
“Yes, these are just lackeys, just leave it to me to solve them. I want to let the Grand Line people know that although I was chased out of the Grand Line, I am back today. Let the two thousand lives of the Baroque Works Organization declare to Grand Line that although Lin Tian has betrayed Marine, the ants still have no right to ignore the rules I set.”
The murderous aura revealed in those calm words shocked everyone behind him. Lin Tian has always shown himself in front of everyone with a smile and leisurely manner.
Almost made everyone forget that Lin Tian is known as the Killing G.o.d in the Grand Line, and Lin Tian, who is called the Killing G.o.d has a bottom line. Once touched, they must welcome Lin Tian’s thunderous might.
Withdrawing the murderous aura, Lin Tian turned around, with a faint smile on his face, everyone couldn’t help but relax, no matter what Lin Tian was, he had always been their partner.
“Hey, Lin Tian is wrong…” Usopp asked puzzledly, “If you deal with those lackeys, who will deal with the other senior agents of the Baroque Works Organization.”
“Of course it’s you guys.” said this, Lin Tian smiled, “I just calculated it, the remaining Baroque Works Organization senior agents are as strong as you. So in this battle, I won’t be there. They are regarded as obstacles on your powerhouse road. After all, if I make a move and solve it with one move, it will be boring.”
“Ah…Lin Tian no!”
On the deck, after everyone knew about Mr.2’s special ability, they all tied a white cloth on their left wrists to prevent it from being imitated and causing unnecessary trouble.
TL note: Bentham (Mr.2 Bon Kurei) ate the Mane Mane no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a physical lookalike of anyone whose face he has touched with his right hand. He transforms himself by touching his own face with his right hand, and changes back to normal by touching his face with his left hand. This ability makes him a perfect master of disguise and deception. He doesn’t only duplicate faces, he can memorize and perfectly duplicate the entire physical appearance of his target, including their stature and voice. He is also able to mix and match the features of different faces in his collection, allowing him to create new faces.
That kind of ability, even if Lin Tian has to be vigilant, is really hard for him. Lin Tian can’t tell the truth from the fake either. If the opponent uses this ability, it will easily cause trouble and cause problems for the entire group.
Tying the white cloth on his hands, Sanji asked in disbelief: “Is it really like that? That ability to imitate and transform.”
Usopp opened his hands and said with a lingering fear: “It’s not like ‘it’s like it’, it’s exactly the same. It’s a pity, you should have seen it. We danced with him.”
On the stairs, Zoro suggested: “Since we know that the other side has that kind of ability, we will try our best to act together.”
Pointing to Luffy next to him, Lin Tian helplessly said: “Do you think this is useful for our captain?”
Hearing this, Zoro was taken aback and looked at the excited Luffy, and helplessly sighed, “Idiot, I almost forgot him.”
“I see the island.” Luffy looked at the yellow island coming out of the sea not far away with excitement.
Vivi familiar with here, she proposed: “Go to a city called Rohara, we must hide the ship first.”
“Okay, no matter what happens now, the mark of the left hand is the mark of the partner.”
Walking around, looking at the marks on their hands, everyone had a sincere smile on their faces. Sometimes, happiness is as simple as having a partner.
Arabasta is here, and the new journey will begin again here!
